    God you people drive me insane, presidents do not drive policy. Capital does. How many times do we have to tell you to stop pinning all the sins of this demonic country on one guy?

    You have the understanding of a child. In fact I bet any random 9 year old could understand this better than you willfully ignorant liberals.

      Please try not to immediately jump down people’s throats so I don’t have to remove comments I agree with in substance.

        We’re all adults here, please stop with the censorship threats. He’s responding to a guy who’s attempting to paint a genocidaire in a good light. Throat jumping down is completely understandable.

          It’s not really a threat since we do it all the time. lemmy.ml is neither lemmygrad.ml nor hexbear.net.

                  I honestly don’t even notice which instance I’m in. I don’t mean to start an argument or derail. I just don’t see what you hope to achieve with this tone policing “policy”.

                    Because we don’t want to make this place miserable, and a bad experience for anyone. It can be difficult to disagree without being disrespectful, but if you want to win converts, it’s much better.

                This is would be a good reason if it were explained to the people while their comment was being deleted. This is not what’s being done.

                A little latitude for people behaving like normal human beings would be better. If the requirement for posting here is that everyone have the intellect and consistent principles of Huey Newton then you’re going to be very busy mods.

      Ultimate power ultimately corrupts. It doesn’t matter whether it comes from capital or community.

      We must have a way to audit, it’s a tool that helps keep power in check. How do you audit handshakes and wink/nods?
